Chapter 394: The Temporary End of the Journey to China

11pm.

Inside Zhang Rui’s rental house.

Although it was An Ying's first time here, she didn't care about the environment here. Instead, after closing the door, she stared at Zhang Rui.

"Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"

"Hidden from you? I haven't hidden anything from you."

Zhang Rui drank a little too much today. Looking at his girlfriend's tense face, his brain didn't react for a moment and he was completely confused.

And An Ying looked at her boyfriend's appearance and smiled bitterly with some helplessness.

She didn't mean to be angry.

After all, Zhang Rui's current condition meant that he was indeed drunk, and his brain was reacting slowly, or was not working at all.

So she got up and found a bottle of water for Zhang Rui. She let him drink a few sips. After he was a little sober, she reminded him in his ear.

"It's about your company and Huang Xu's matter?"

"You said before that your company is just a small export company with only a few people, helping the Korean company to purchase materials."

"So how did Huang Xu, the boss, have a girlfriend like Gu Hara?"

"They are totally incompatible?"

"Goo Hara is a big star, how can she be Huang Xu's girlfriend?"

"Why can't he be Huang Xu's girlfriend?"

After hearing what his girlfriend said, Zhang Rui directly expressed his dissatisfaction and asked his girlfriend back.

In his mind, Huang Xu's status is very high and he will not tolerate anyone slandering him.

Although they had a good relationship during college, they were just roommates, no different from other roommates.

However, over the past six months, the tremendous changes that have taken place in Huang Xu, as well as the various supports and care he has received, have brought about a qualitative change in his friendship with Huang Xu.

Coupled with the effect of alcohol tonight, his reaction was particularly big.

"Do you feel that Huang Xu is not good enough for Gu Hara? Or what do you mean?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Seeing Zhang Rui's sudden question, An Ying quickly began to explain.

"I just feel like the two of them together are just a little too magical."

"Goo Hara is Korean and a member of a girl group, while Huang Xu is a small boss in China. There is really no overlap between the identities of these two people, right?"

"Hey, what's this?"

"What if I tell you that when they were together, it was Goo Hara who pursued Huang Xu?"

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

When An Ying heard what her boyfriend said, she didn't believe it at first.

Although she is not a fanatical fan of Korean entertainment, she still has a certain understanding of KARA and Goo Hara.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to recognize Goo Hara at the first sight.

According to her impression, Goo Hara has a boyfriend who is also an idol in the entertainment industry. The two of them are also the first pair of idols in the Korean idol circle to publicly express their relationship.

It was because she knew this that she had such a big reaction.

When Zhang Rui saw his girlfriend's shocked expression, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

He then continued to expose the news to his shocked girlfriend.

"What is this?"

"Let me tell you, this is just the tip of the iceberg on Huang Xu's body."

"When you get to know him better, you'll find that his celebrity girlfriend isn't really a big deal."

"true and false?"

An Ying widened her eyes and looked at Zhang Rui in disbelief.

It was obvious that Goo Hara's appearance today caused a contrast in Huang Xu's identity. Coupled with Zhang Rui's unclear words, her brain was a little blocked for a while.

If Zhang Rui did not deceive her, then it is very likely that Huang Xu is hiding another identity.

So what about Zhang Rui?
What role is he playing in it?

Zhang Rui looked at An Ying's questioning, or rather disbelieving, expression and added without hesitation.

"Of course it's true. When you have your holiday, we'll go to Korea and you'll know."

"No, there are many things that can shock you even more."

"Okay, okay, it seems like I have to go to Korea, right?"

After listening to her boyfriend's words, An Ying couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming trip to Korea.

In addition to the doubts about her boyfriend and Huang Xu, there were also the words Goo Hara said while they were having dinner just now.

If they go to Korea, Goo Hara can take them to the TV station to watch the live performance and feel the fanatical atmosphere.

You can also take her to meet your favorite idols and get close to them.

It can be said that she is now eager to start her next vacation trip to Korea.

Just as she began to fantasize about her trip to Korea, Zhang Rui suddenly asked a question.

"Yingying, how do you feel about your current job?"

"what?"

Zhang Rui's sudden change of subject caught An Ying off guard. She was unable to react for a moment and could not understand what Zhang Rui meant.

Zhang Rui looked at his puzzled girlfriend and continued to add.

"Are you happy working in your company?"

"If there is a better job and more opportunities, have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

"Why are you asking this suddenly?"

An Ying was obviously confused by Zhang Rui's question and didn't know how to answer.

However, Zhang Rui had no intention of revealing anything. Instead, he kept the secret and looked at her and asked.

"It's okay, just asking you?"

"Really?"

Although still a little confused, An Ying pondered for a moment, and then obeyed Zhang Rui's wishes and answered his question.

"If there is a better job, a better opportunity, then I will definitely change!"

"You know what's going on in our company right now. It's like this every day."

Just as An Ying was complaining to Zhang Rui, Huang Xu and Goo Hara on the other side also returned to the hotel smoothly.

Huang Xu and Goo Hara had just entered the room and taken a sip of water when they heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Huang Xu seemed very confused when he heard this sudden voice.

Now, only a few people know that they live here.

After thinking it over, apart from the staff, only Zhang Rui who helped book the room and Park Hyomin knew about it.

But Zhang Rui drank so much today that he went back to rest with An Ying.

Park Hyomin knew that they were going to drink tonight and she didn't need to come.

So who was the person knocking on the door? With a puzzled look, Huang Xu looked through the peephole and observed the corridor outside the door.

Then I saw a figure wearing a hat and sunglasses appear at the door, and kept looking around.

A normal person would feel scared if someone was sneaking around his door in the middle of the night, and might even call the police or ask for help.

After all, that sneaky look doesn't seem like that of a good person.

But Huang Xu was different. After seeing the figure, he opened the door and let the other person in.

"How did you come?"

"Didn't you say you didn't need to come over tonight?"

Looking at Park Hyomin who was wrapped tightly, Huang Xu asked with some confusion.

After all, I sent her a special message today, telling her that she didn't need to come today and asked her to have a good rest.

Park Hyomin first greeted Goo Hara, and then looked at Huang Xu somewhat awkwardly.

"Actually, I have something I want to ask you."

"What's going on?"

"That's what you said when you called tonight, about the problem with the material we recorded."

Park Hyomin then told Huang Xu everything that happened tonight.

Their concerns and the chaos of the program crew.

After hearing what Park Hyomin said, Huang Xu couldn't help but take it seriously.

He hadn't expected that one of his orders would lead to such a big thing.

And the most important thing is that the program crew could become so chaotic just because of a piece of news.

Park Soo-geun and his people waited for a long time, and only when the program crew was in chaos did they start to organize people to quell the riots.

He shook his confused brain and then said to Park Hyomin.

"Wait a moment, I'll take my time."

After saying that, Huang Xu got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water to clear his mind.

Although he can drink quite a lot, the bottle of liquor he drank today made him feel a little dizzy.

After coming out, he took the towel handed to him by Goo Hara and wiped his face, then drank a bottle of mineral water, and then looked at Park Hyomin and said.

"What do you want to know now?"

"We just want to know what problems have occurred with our footage, and what impact these problems will have."

"In fact, the problem is very simple. It's that you were too tired, so there were some problems with your performance in the video."

Huang Xu then briefly told Park Hyomin about the problems in the video, as well as the plans and original intentions he had made at the time.

After listening to Huang Xu's story, Park Hyomin nodded thoughtfully.

She actually had some feelings during this period.

Especially in the past few days, she and her teammates felt very tired, as if they were overwhelmed and had no interest in many things.

But since the PDs didn't say anything, they naturally didn't want to bring it up.

Since their debut, all the variety shows they have participated in have been in accordance with the requirements of the program team and they have never considered the issue of results.

After all, they are just guest performers and idols and have no say.

But then she started to worry again.

"So how serious is the situation? How much video footage is affected?"

"I don't know now."

Speaking of this issue, Huang Xu also frowned.

Due to time constraints, he simply compared a few videos today, and now has no idea where the problem occurred.

So now we can’t say how many materials have problems and how much of them can be used.

And most importantly, this incident actually reflects another problem.

That is, the program team lacks an effective supervision mechanism.

The current program crew, apart from myself coming over occasionally to check, basically has the final say by Park Soo-geun and his team.

This situation occurs precisely because there is no perfect supervision mechanism.

However, he did not tell Park Hyomin all this. Instead, he looked at her worried face and comforted her.

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be many materials with problems. After all, I didn't find these problems when I came here last time."

"That's fine, that's fine."

After listening to Huang Xu's comfort, Park Hyomin finally felt a little relieved.

She is really worried now that there are a lot of problematic materials that will affect their promotion.

Now, they are the ones who care most about the effects of variety shows.

After all, this has something to do with whether they can rely on this variety show to directly increase their popularity in China.

If the start is not good, then their subsequent China strategy may be full of twists and turns.

But at the same time, she still looked at Huang Xu with some worry.

"If this week's material doesn't meet the requirements, do we need to re-record it?"

"decide as things go."

"Tomorrow morning I will take them through a review to see how many videos can be used and how many cannot be used."

"As for the re-recording, we'll talk about it later."

Huang Xu hasn’t figured out how to deal with this yet.

If the recording quality is not good, Huang Xu will definitely not use it.

But what should we do with these recorded videos?
Seeing Huang Xu's embarrassed look, Park Hyomin's face, which had just relaxed a little, became tense again.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly quiet, Goo Hara, who had been listening quietly without saying much, spoke to Park Hyomin.

"Hyomin, don't worry. Oppa will find a way."

"Don't mention that he has invested so much and will never give up on you. Just look at your current status. Will Oppa ignore you?"

"Forehead"

Park Hyomin, who was secretly worried, immediately reacted after hearing what Goo Hara said.

Huang Xu has invested so much in them, there is no way he would give up on them.

And there is also my current identity. If Sunny had not deceived me before, then I wouldn’t have to worry about these things at all.

But even after Goo Hara pointed this out, she still felt a little uncomfortable and shy.

Don’t be fooled by her acting so indifferent and calm in front of Huang Xu before, but after all, she is also a girl and she doesn’t care about nothing.

After Goo Hara finished speaking, she looked at Park Hyomin who was still lowering her head, then turned and said to Huang Xu.

"By the way, Oppa, don't you have good news to tell Hyomin and the others?"

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you a good news when I saw you this afternoon."

Huang Xu also remembered at this time that he forgot to tell them the news because Park Ji-yeon interrupted him.

"Next, you should prepare well and get ready to appear on a variety show on Mango TV."

“And then there is more.”
